- Abstract: The recent (2014) inauguration of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, a reconstruction of an archetypal Jacobean indoor playhouse, on London’s Southbank, has led students and scholars of early modern theatre once again to focus attention on original playhouse performances, just as they did when its older sibling Shakespeare’s Globe opened its doors in 1996. The earlier assumption that the differences between openair amphitheatres and indoor playhouses conditioned the way plays were written and acted is now enjoying a new lease on life, and yet there has been little research conducted in order to substantiate this otherwise perfectly logical intuition. Drawing on the insights of drama theorist Manfred Pfister as well as the linguistic concept of deixis, this article compares the language and plotting of three plays by the Jacobean playwright John Webster: The White Devil, The Duchess of Malfi and The Devil’s Law Case. Each play was first staged under significantly different circumstances within the theatrical landscape of Jacobean London, which makes them a singularly illustrative case study of how an early modern English dramatist adapted his style in order to meet the demands of the city’s diverse performance conditions.

- Abstract: La reciente inauguración (2014) del Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, una reconstrucción de un teatro cubierto arquetípico jacobeo, en el Southbank de Londres, ha animado a los estudiantes y a los estudiosos del teatro moderno temprano a centrar una vez más su atención en las representaciones teatrales originales, tal y como lo hicieron cuando su hermano mayor el Globe de Shakespeare abrió sus puertas en 1996. La anterior suposición de que las diferencias entre los anfiteatros al aire libre y los teatros cubiertos condicionaban la forma en que se escribían y actuaban las obras disfruta ahora de una nueva vida y, sin embargo, se ha realizado escasa investigación al respecto para fundamentar esta intuición que, por el contrario, podría ser perfectamente lógica. Basándonos en las ideas del teórico dramático Manfred Pfister así como en el concepto lingüístico de deíxis, este artículo compara el lenguaje y la trama de tres obras del dramaturgo jacobeo John Webster: The White Devil, The Duchess of Malfi y The Devil’s Law Case. Cada obra se representó por vez primera en circunstancias significativamente diferentes dentro del panorama teatral del Londres jacobeo, lo que las hace parte de un estudio de caso singularmente ilustrativo de cómo un dramaturgo inglés del periodo moderno temprano adaptaba su estilo para satisfacer las demandas de las diversas condiciones escénicas de la ciudad.
